Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 314: Seventh Summoner (Bonus)

Baron Titus smiled as if he were feeling assured.

On the other hand, Nathan took another look at the wanted posters and couldn't help but ask, "According to the information, there are seven summoners. Who is this seventh member? Why don't I see his wanted poster?"

Lees' expression turned solemn. He was also aware of this seventh summoner, so he couldn't help but observe the baron's reaction.

Titus hesitated for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh. "The seventh member is most likely the former vice captain of this barony."

"!!!" Lees and Nathan raised their eyebrows as this information signified a lot of things.

"A former vice captain of the army?" Nathan crossed his arms. The mood turned heavy all of a sudden.

"Yes." Titus nodded. "He was quite young. Because of his talent, he thought he would become the captain soon, considering the current captain was already 78 years old.

"However, my army's captain believed he would definitely pass his position to him, but there was one problem. The guy was still a bit reckless.

"As someone living on the border like this, recklessness is the first thing we should avoid. After all, losing a lot of our soldiers will mean devastation.

"That's why, instead of sending our army against the bandits, I sent the request to the Frexia Academy and the Duxia Academy.

"He didn't accept that explanation and ended up leaving the barony. And from the looks of it, he was probably the one setting up everything, since our knights often hunted in that forest."

Nathan rubbed his forehead. It looked like the situation had turned into a big mess.

If this was a normal bandit, they would be able to take advantage of the terrain but couldn't utilize the aliens because they had little information about the forest.

But since this seventh summoner was a knight who had been roaming around the forest for years, he could utilize the terrain or even the aliens to his advantage.

"What is his strength? Can he kill a mature class alien?" Nathan asked.

Titus shook his head. "I don't know. His strength was already pretty close. With some help from normal knights, he could take down a mature class alien. That was about six months ago.

"He left one month ago and all this mess started. His strength might rival a mature class alien now."

Lees fell into deep thought. "This mission might be much more dangerous than we originally thought. I should be able to handle their leader, this former mercenary. However, I couldn't take on two of them at the same time.

"As for the lower level summoners, I think these four are able to handle five of them, including the normal bandits. Still, the moment the two attacked us together, it would be the end."

Titus sighed. "Should I ask the captain to accompany you? His strength should be stronger than him…"

Lees was more inclined to accept, but Nathan stopped him with a question. "What do you want to do against this person? Should we capture him? Or should we kill him?"

Lees' eyes widened. Eliot stood and asked out loud, "Do you not understand the situation we are in?"

Nathan ignored their reaction. He continued staring at Titus, demanding an answer.

"If you are able to apprehend him, please do that. However, I know what kind of dangerous situation it has become, so you must have no leeway to do it. Hence, please kill him," Titus stated with a cold tone.

Nathan smiled. "I understand. It shall be done."

"Still, it doesn't change the fact that there are two people of that level!" Eliot berated Nathan. Even Lisa, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but open her mouth. "Ehm, fellow student Nathan. I know that you're confident in your strength, but I think we shouldn't be careless about this."

Nathan raised a finger, stopping them from speaking. He tapped Sera's shoulder twice, giving a signal to her.

"!!!" Sera was startled since her turn came much sooner than they expected. At the same time, she couldn't help but ask, 'I somehow finally understand what Selena is feeling. Does this guy only react because this girl speaks?'

Unfortunately, she couldn't get the answer. After all, she had to explain the situation.

"I apologize. Due to my circumstances, I currently can't be seen in public. As you probably already know about the conflict between the Frexia Academy and the terrorist organization, I have been sent as an envoy to oversee the cooperation.

"If I were to be seen in public…" Sera glanced at Lees.

"Are you going to be targeted?"

"Yes. That's why we have been very covert this whole time and bother the baron by barging into his mansion in the middle of the night.

"Hence, the only people they know are probably you guys. They don't know our existence, which will allow us to set up an ambush.

"We'll eliminate several people during the ambush. Nathan will then take on this former vice captain. As someone from the Command Department, I'm also able to support him with Synchronization. This way, even if we are unable to deal with him, we'll be able to stall him.

"And because we have killed several of them, Miss Lisa and Mr. Eliot should be enough to handle the rest.

"What do you think?"

"!!!" They dropped their jaws in disbelief. No one would ever think that, due to Sera's situation, they would get such an advantage. In fact, Nathan was the only one insane enough to turn that misfortunate situation into an opportunity.

No one could really say anything if the saintess wanted them to be the bait. In addition, this plan should work perfectly.

The baron was sweating. He couldn't help but wonder whether it was situational or planned.

"Of course, this means we have to go to the forest separately. And if there's a landmark where we can meet and keep our distance, we will be able to deliver a devastating blow to them." Serafina smiled, showing them the reason behind Nathan's confidence.

Little did she know, Nathan had lost that confidence after a certain person jinxed the entire operation.
